Ha ha I'm hooked already. Next time I log into Steam it will go in me basket.
Rock of Ages is a weird, Python-esque tower-defence pinball game that sees you battling dragons, zombie philosophers and priceless works of art for apparently no reason whatsoever. That sounds strange, we know, but it's also brilliant, even if it is genre-defying and wrist-gnawingly insane.
- it's the bizarre comedic bent that remains Rock of Ages' major draw. It's a game so irreverent and off-the-wall that it becomes incredibly memorable and immediately stands out in a season that's just ramping up for a string of blockbusters.
Rock of Ages has faults - it's samey and repetitive in long-play sessions, for example, and if the trailers don't tickle you then there's little chance the full game will impress. However, considering the low price and artistic spark that lies at the heart of the game, Rock of Ages becomes a difficult game to turn down, even if the mechanical side of the experience doesn't quite rival the creative side, and there are occasional glitches with the physics of enemy AI.
